The blood vessel photograph on the seventh day confirmed occurrence of delayed cerebral vasospasm on the photograph. Then, a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (0.1 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg) were separately administered into vein over 30 minutes continuously (separate administration group). Alternatively, a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents ahydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (0.1 mg/kg) were concomitantly administered into vein over 30 minutes continuously (concomitant administration group). As a control, physiological saline was administered into vein over 30 minutes continuously. After the administration of each drug, the blood vessel was photographed to measure the diameter of basilar artery. Table 1 shows the percentage (%) of the blood vessel diameter after the administration of each drug based on the blood vessel diameter before the injection of autologous blood (on the first day). [0068]

    Hydrochloride of general formula (I) 68.8%
    compound (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen
    atom) 0.3 mg/kg + Nimodipine 0.1 mg/kg
  • The diameter of basilar artery measured before the drug administration (on the seventh day) decreased to about 60% compared with that measured before the autologous blood injection (on the first day), and occurrence of delayed cerebral vasospasm was confirmed. When the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (0.1 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg) were separately administered, the vasospasm was not improved. When the hydrochloride of a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (0.1 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg) were concomitantly administered, an vasospasm improving effect was observed. [0069]
  • Also, an vasospasm improving effect was observed in the case of the concomitant administration of a certain amount of the hydrochloride and nimodipine that had not caused vasospasm improving effect when administering those separately. [0070]
  • Those results confirmed that the concomitant administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and nimodipine caused a synergistic effect. Also, those results indicated that the concomitant administration of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and nimodipine was effective for improvement and prevention of cerebral vasospasm. [0071]
    • EXAMPLE 2 Inhibitory Effect of Cerebral Infarction in Rat Cerebral Infarction Model
  • A rat brain microthromboembolism model described in Stroke, 31, 2245-2255 (2000) was used as a cerebral infarction model. Physiological saline, a hydrochloride of a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (1 mg/kg), or sodium ozagrel provided as an ameliorant of cerebral circulation (10 mg/kg) was separately administered intraperitoneally to a rat provided as a cerebral infarction model (separate administration group) Alternatively, a hydrochloride of a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (1 mg/kg) and sodium ozagrel (10 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally (concomitant administration group). After the model was prepared, each drug was administered once a day until the fourth day. On the fifth day, the brain was extracted and the size of a cerebral infarction was histopathologically measured. In the case of the separate administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (1 mg/kg) and sodium ozagrel (10 mg/kg), the cerebral infarction was not inhibited. On the other hand, in the case of the concomitant administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (1 mg/kg) and sodium ozagrel (10 mg/kg), the cerebral infarction was inhibited. Also, the inhibitory effect of cerebral infarction was confirmed in the case of the concomitant administration of a certain amount of the hydrochloride and sodium ozagrel that had not caused the inhibitory effect of cerebral infarction when administering those separately. It was confirmed that the concomitant administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and sodium ozagrel caused a synergistic effect. It was indicated that the concomitant administration of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and sodium ozagrel was effective for improvement and prevention of cerebral infarction. [0072]
    • EXAMPLE 3 Effect on Neuronal Death Model by Transient Occlusion of Both Common Carotid Arteries of Mongolian Gerbil
  • Both common carotid arteries of a Mongolian gerbil were occluded for 5 minutes to cause transient brain ischemic condition. Immediately after restarting blood flow, a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) or nimodipine (3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) was separately administered intraperitoneally (separate administration group). [0073]
  • Alternatively, a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (0.3 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally (concomitant administration group). [0074]
  • On the seventh day, the number of pyramidal cells in a hippocampus CA1 region was counted. The brain ischemia decreased the number of pyramidal cells to about 10%. The separate administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (3 mg/kg) did not inhibit neuronal death. The concomitant administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) (0.3 mg/kg) and nimodipine (3 mg/kg) inhibited neuronal death. Also, the brain inhibitory effect of neuronal death was confirmed in the case of the concomitant administration of a certain amount of the hydrochloride and nimodipine that had not caused the brain inhibitory effect of neuronal death when administering those separately. [0075]
  • Those results confirmed that the concomitant administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and nimodipine caused a synergistic effect. In addition, those results indicated that the concomitant administration of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom) and nimodipine was effective for improvement and prevention of cerebral infarction. [0076]
    • EXAMPLE 4 Effect on Vasopressin Induced Rat Angina Pectoris Model
  • A rat was orally administered with physiological saline, a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom) (3 mg/kg), nifedipine provided as a calcium channel blocking drug (3 mg/kg), propranolol provided as a β-adrenaline receptor blocking drug (100 mg/kg), or isosorbide nitrate provided as a nitrate drug (30 mg/kg) separately (separate administration group). Alternatively, a rat was orally administered with one compound of a hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom) (3 mg/kg), nifedipine (3 mg/kg), propranolol (100 mg/kg), and isosorbide nitrate (30 mg/kg) (concomitant administration group). Half an hour later, vasopressin (0.5 U/kg) was intravenously administered. The ST segment depression was used as an index showing the degree of a myocardial ischemia. On the seventh day, the ST segment in an electrocardiogram was measured for comparison with a ST segment before the vasopressin administration. It was found that the vasopressin administration caused the ST segment depression. In addition, occurrence of a myocardial ischemia was observed. The ST segment depression was not improved by the separate administration of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom), nifedipine, propranolol, and isosorbide nitrate. The ST segment depression was improved by the concomitant administration of: the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom) and nifedipine; the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom) and propranolol; or the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein, R1 is a hydrogen atom) and isosorbide nitrate. The improving effect of myocardial ischemia was confirmed in the case of the concomitant administration of a certain amount of the hydrochloride, nifedipine, propranolol, and isosorbide nitrate that had not caused the improving effect of myocardial ischemia when administering those separately. Those results confirmed that the concomitant administration of any of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom), nifedipine, propranolol, and isosorbide nitrate caused a synergistic effect. In addition, those results indicated that the concomitant administration of any of the hydrochloride of the compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom), nifedipine, propranolol, and isosorbide nitrate was effective for improvement and prevention of angina pectoris.
